In this report we present a first series of tests of the lithium Capillary Porous System (CPS). We suppose that such a system can be used as a first wall in a thermonuclear reactor. The main goal of the presented work was to study the behavior of the lithium CPS in the condition simulating the influence of plasma in various operating regimes of the thermonuclear reactor. The tests were conducted in a Plasma Focus (PF) installation. The preliminary analysis of the received results confirms the high resistance of the lithium CPS to the pulse influence of plasma flows.
